LeAnn Rimes Launching TV Series, Making Holiday Plans

LeAnn Rimes is coming to a TV near you. "LeAnn & Eddie," the country star's new reality series with husband Eddie Cibrian, debuts on VH1 Thursday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern.

Rimes tells "Yahoo" it's a "family friendly" show with no "cringe-worthy" moments she wouldn't want her stepsons to see. But she says it's not a show she could have done five years ago. The singer admits it "wasn't laughable at all" when she and Eddie suddenly became a tabloid staple but now they can laugh at it, and they're hoping viewers will laugh with them.

LeAnn says the debut episode focuses on a "Star" magazine article claiming she and Eddie were divorcing, and that Eddie was texting ex-wife Brandi Glanville "just for moral support" whenever LeAnn was "crazy."

But the show isn't the only thing occupying LeAnn's time. She's also getting ready for the holidays. Rimes will release the six-song EP ONE Christmas - Chapter 1 later this year. It'll be the first of three consecutive seasonal CDs, with Chapter 2 arriving in 2015 and Chapter 3 completing the trilogy in 2016.

LeAnn will support this year's disc with her "ONE Christmas" tour. The seven-date trek will begin in Rutland, Vermont on December 5th.
